Im sure I read somewhere that someone taped some shapes onto their lenses.
Anyone got any experience or pics of this?

Do you mean for driving abroad, in that case:

- Buy some clear plastic deflectors from Halfords.
- Crouch down in front of car with headlamps on, about 20 feet away, slightly to the right, as if you were in an on coming car.
- stick deflectors on the cowling with a small bit of tape and experiment with position until the brightest part of the light is deflected from your 'oncoming frenchie car position'.
- Stick down properly.
-Look at car from 6 feet away, decide it looks a bloody eyesore and take the damn things off and chuck em away

Any help?

Thats perfect thanks Burriana.
I think I'll go for the option of by the deflectors and chuck them in the boot incase the Spanish/Italian plod pull me over.

BTW: Is oncoming frenchie car position in the karma sutra?

Good point Glena!
I was more concerned with being pulled for not having deflectors but I'll just keep them in the car incase.

Dont intend to do much driving at night anyway.

If it's just for appearences you could always fit them to the main-beam lamps? Rich...
